Hi,
I've got master/slave replication setup between a few hosts. At any
point a slave could become a master. I've got appropriate locking in
place using an external system so that only one master can exist at a
time. I'm having trouble determining when my slaves are in sync with the
current master so that they can be a candidate for promotion. I want
some form of indicator _without reading a log_ when streaming
replication has started.

something on the receiver side, so the state column in

the DB won't accept connections in standby mode.

quick reply. Actually I was wrong. For some reason my testing initially
didn't want to allow read-only connections. Problem solved.
